\n" ); document.write( "Suppose that the x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x) are 3 and 5.
\n" ); document.write( " What are the x-intercepts of the graph of y= f(x+8)?
\n" ); document.write( "

From f(x) to f(x + 8), the ENTIRE parabola will be SHIFTED 8 units to the LEFT, so roots (3 and 5), or x-intercepts (3, 0) and (5, 0) are SHIFTED HORIZONTALLY,
\n" );
document.write( "8 units to the left thus making the new roots, (3 - 8), or - 5, and (5 - 8), or - 3. The points can also be written as:  (- 5, 0) and (- 3, 0). \n" );
document.write( "
